Guitar path (Row 1&3):
Input 1 → full guitar chain (comp, drives, FX Loop 2 with Lehle volume pedal, delay, reverb) → Out 1/2 (stereo to FOH)
Vocal path (Row 2):
Input 2 → vocal chain → Out 3/4 (stereo to FOH)
All main outputs 1–4 are used for stereo guitar and stereo vocal to FOH.
What I want:
A mono-summed version of the processed guitar (after all effects and after the volume pedal) sent to Send 1, going to a active amp for monitoring.
I moved the Lehle volume pedal to FX Loop 2 (Send 2 / Return 2), so Send 1 is free.
Row 4 is currently unused, so I was thinking that’s where I could set up the routing I need help with.
What is the correct way to tap the fully processed stereo guitar signal and send a mono-summed version to Send 1 without affecting the main stereo outputs to FOH? I will also need to be able to control the level of the signal I send from Send 1 to the powered monitor.
Put a Transparent Blend block on Row 4 and set its Input to the last block in the guitar signal path. This will sum it to mono. You could adjust level from the Output block or put a Gain block on that row.
I’m pretty sure selecting a single Output instead of a pair will sum the lane to mono. The biggest difference with the QC is just unplugging one cable will not sum if the Output is still set to a pair. Many other devices sum it at that point. This makes it tricky to sum the QC; you have to adjust settings in your preset rather than just disconnecting a cable
I think it’s just takes whichever output you’re selecting and isn’t actually summing to mono. I could be incorrect, but feels strange it would sum it to mono instead of just taking the left or right channel that you select.
